Khan's work, despite great performances, may not ride the popularity charts, and the film may have to content itself with attracting limited arthouse audiences.

Using Gandhi's political career as a canvas, the film paints a picture of his intricate, complex, and strained relationship with his son Harilal Gandhi. The film shows how Harilal once tried to support his father's ideology while simultaneously trying to create a life for himself, separate from his family name.

What are critics saying?
Gandhi, My Father radiates sincerity. It’s a beautifully shot and staged period reconstruction, and is at times impressively acted, at least in the secondary roles. What it lacks is fresh insight.
Classy production values and a textured lead performance by Darshan Jariwala are undercut by a lack of real drama in Gandhi My Father.
Los Angeles Times by John Anderson
Exposes director Khan's stage roots -- he has no feel for the close-up, although his use of the frame itself, and negative space, is occasionally thrilling.
